I like the label name Majik Ninja..Whats wrong with it? People just like to bitch I guess...

While it may be true, that this news is inconsequential when it comes to music, and this really is just "bitching," it is also true that it is a bad name.  For a couple reasons:

1. It's not an original idea.  Violent J came up with the whole concept of Magic Ninjas for Big Money Hustlas.  

2. "Majik" reminds me of the first time they made their own label and failed horribly.

3. This might fall under originality, but did Twiztid ever use "ninja" ?  I thought that was an ICP/Psychopathic theme. 

4. As has been said, it's played out.  The chant, the phrase... everything is just "I seen that before," not "this is new!"

 

DESPITE ALL THAT

I love Twiztid, and I think they're off to an excellent start, musically.  And I'm geeked for Blaze.  I preordered and I'll do the retail thing.

I disagree its a bad name..I think its cool. Cool as fuck seven is doing the beats for blaze..I hope they get seven on that darkness record and the moment you've all been waiting for

What exactly is GR: Reborn gonna be exactly? I remember some talk about it being similar to the tour edition or something, and how it was meant to be but not much more than that because I had other shit going on at the time.

• Majik Ninja contacted Michael “Seven” Summers to strip away existing beats and start building beats from scratch, breathing new life into each and every
  track he touched. Between him and The Dead Beatz production the record now sounds the way it should of almost 4 years ago.

• In addition to the totally re-produced, re-mixed, re-mastered record there will also be 4 brand new NEVER heard before tracks from the original Gang
  Rags recording studio sessions.

• It will all come in a new collectors packaging complete with a foil album cover and brand new never before seen pictures of Blaze.

• Blaze has already filmed a music video for the song “Napalm” this will come out well before the release date to help promote the new project.

• Blaze will release 30 second snippets throughout the weeks before 10/21 to give the fans a sample of what to expect from Gang Rags Reborn.

• The iTunes release will come with an exclusive song Rulez To The Game featuring longtime friend ABK (Anybody Killa). ABK and Blaze makeup the
  group Drive By, which is a fan favorite.

• Once the album is released Blaze will run a contest for retail stores. Any fan who mails their official retail receipt to the record label will receive an
  exclusive CD in return. This will push fans to purchase the store from retail and make it worth it and fun in the process. The campaign is called
  #SupportUndergroundWick

Is the cover going to be better [as in, not just a foil version of the same thing] than the original Gang Rags?  And will an online order be considered retail?  Because we ain't got shit for record stores and I doubt Best Buy will have it.

best buy by me didnt even have killjoy..I doubt they will carry this.

That's what I figured.  Will they count an Amazon receipt?

Actually you know what, fuck it... what's an email I can contact them by to ask...

So they did a toys for tots thing?  That's cool.
